This morning I did my regular research routine, you know .. style, wwd, magazines etc. And I am a big fan of art/illustration, although I'm not great at .. I appreciate it. So surfin the web, reading the fashion news on wwd.com and I came across an article on this guy Danny Roberts and his phenominal fashion illustrations! Never heard of him til now .. but I am a big fan already. So needless to say, his work will be appearing on t-shirts this fall and I can't wait! His work on t-shirt has my name written all over it. Borders and Frontiers, an e-tailer sells Danny Roberts "Girls in glasses" tshirt as well as Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers Fall collection. Amazing work!

So I attended the private screening of the september issue last night at the Ritz Five, with RJ Cutler who is the director of the film & Andre Leon Talley ( Fashion Editor at large) showed up. First of all all seeing all the (real) stylish chicks in Philly was quite refreshing, in their dresses & heels .. love seeing others who are really passion about this industry as I am. I must say the movie was not at all just fashion, sure it walked us through how Vogue Magazine is made, & what hard work it takes to get done .. but its a bit deeper than what I expected, suprisingly! And I advise every and anyone who is looking to be invovled with industry to go and see this movie!! Its important to know your history for whatever it is you want to do, and you should know who Anna Wintour is ( Editor in Chief of Vogue) .. and if you didn't before, you will soon.

So me and Andre didn't get a clear picture for some reason, which was dissapointing .. but we talked too which was great .. jus really wish that pic came out clear. He was becoming impatient with all the ppl wanting to take photos, so I let him go after we tried to re-take the pic about 5 times lol .. AND IT STILL WOULD NOT WORK! So I made sure he knew that we will meet again :) After that I saw Rj Cutler talking to noone, he was very ginuine .. and had a warm pressence (most celebs etc .. are not too nice) we talk he asked me questions, I asked hime questions, It was a great experience!!

Friday the Aug 14th, Reebok announced that Fabolous will be participating in the Classic Remix Concert series Foot Locker. The footwear collection will be mens, with prices ranging from $60 to $75 .. (suprised they didn't hike up the cost). They will only be available in selected stores, and some states will host a concert for the release. Anndd .. for the first 100 Fabolous fans who buy a pair of kicks win a personal & intimate performance. Hmmm ... Sounds cool? Idk .. Love Fabolous the rapper, not really a fan of reeboks.

Mary-kate and Ashley couldn't have done better, when they decided to create a clothing line back in 2007 .. announcing there first line "The Row" which is a bit more exspensive than their Elizabeth &James collection also the collection I fell in love with. These two brands are growing more and more everyday (while they will soon be expanding to mens).. and what way to push it futher A shoe collection!! Finally! The pics above are a preview what we have ahead off us for Fall 09. I know this Elizabeth & James footwear collection will do amazing with designs from gladiators, suede boots, shoe booties, lacey boots and of course ballet flats all connecting to the Olsen twins eclectic/chic personal style!

I looovve love love the twins and there style, their foever following their own trend and never what the media says is hot. I'm excited about anything new coming from them :)

I have faith in Amber .. and I think she wants to really wants to be somebody known by her own work, and not by means of Kanye. Ok yeah she wasn't a superstar before kanye, but I don't think she's using him to get to the top ... sure its a plus. But she seems like a smart girl who knows what she wants. Just so happen her and kanye are an item, and just so happen she wants to be a star too! So what! lol Who doesn't want to be known for something? BS if you don't! So lets stop hatin on her! I think she'll be a great model.

Another COLLAB! Target is so on point when it comes to knowing what the world wants. Target will once again be (and I'm sure there are more to come) teaming up with another fab design team duo Rodarte! This line is set to be available online and instore Target locations December 22nd, and will consist of a modern mix of patterns and prints, sequins, bows (we love bows) and faux fur which is always fun! As some of you may know Rodarte won this years CFDA's award, and the sisters Kate and Laura are doing a great job with the line. And collaborating with target will further there brand in an incredible way! Target Rodarte Collection Prices will very from $9.99-$79.99 .. can't beat that!!
